"So far, she has been protected and we want to make sure she is protected in the school setting," said attorney Teddy Gordon.

Gordon is the attorney for the family who says their 15-year-old daughter was lured into a sexual relationship with teacher and volleyball coach, Casey Kays.

"He told her that he loved her, he tells her he can't wait to see her, and to touch her. That's horrendous stuff," the vctim's father told WLKY in September. "I was devastated, frustrated, angry. I wanted something done right then and there. But finally, hopefully, something is going to be done."

A grand jury indicted Kays on Friday on felony sodomy and rape charges, in addition to the previous September charge of unlawful transaction with a minor.

"It has been very reassuring to them, very cathartic. They are elated that justice is going forward now and the person that we assume will be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said Gordon.

In July, the victim's parents found intimate Facebook posts and text messages between their daughter and Kays.

At the time, Kays coached volleyball at the Academy at Shawnee High.

After his arrest, JCPS prohibited Kays from having any contact with students.

"Mainly to protect her when she went back because as this goes across the school with the rumor mill and the social media, it's hard on the person who's the victim," said Gordon.

Kays taught social students at several JCPS schools since he was hired in 2007.

"If there's somebody else out there that has had problems with teacher Kays, this is the time to come forward," said Gordon.

JCPS spokesperson Ben Jackey said Kays is not being fired. He will remain on non-instructional duties throughout the due process of his case.

WLKY also spoke with Kays' attorney, Oliver Barber, who stated, according to the criminal justice system, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
